NHQ··on Interactive Camera Simulator
Neat. I wrote a javascript module that applies SLR effects to yr webcam (altho there is no aperture parameter; it'll be fun to add that algorithm some day)

it's been lots of fun to build apps with and use

NHQ··on Wanted: ‘Lost Einsteins.’ Please Apply
If the network you offer is very valuable, and you maintain a good relationship with the future founder, they will probably choose you as an investor automatically when the time comes, out of trust and simplicity.
NHQ··on An Open Letter to the FCC
Regulations are not the answer, for the very reason that they will flip-flop with political appointees, and it amounts to people begging for what they rightly should demand.
NHQ··on The Effect of Cold Showering on Health and Work: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Cold showering isn't a health regimen; it's a beauty secret.
NHQ··on Capsule Networks Explained
Thanks. So maybe it is saying that the field overlap with capsules is implicit in network, not a step in the calculation? That's my conclusion.
NHQ··on Capsule Networks Explained
There one thing in the paper that has me stumped

> Each primary capsule output[sic] sees the outputs of all 256 × 81 Conv1 units whose receptive fields overlap with the location of the center of the capsule.

What does that mean? The capsules are bundles of convolutions, and the output of the "256 * 81 conv1" is a 1D manifold. What does it mean "overlap" and what is the center of the capsule?

Note on [sic] - seems like it should read "input"

Care to hazard some examples of the latter?
NHQ··on Show HN: Audiovisual sequencer for tweet-sized JavaScript animations
Would be cool to be able to post sound loops in the same style. You could use this web audio module for that: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsynth
NHQ··on Nvidia GPU Cloud
"This eliminates time-consuming and difficult do-it-yourself software integration..."

writing easy to integrate, open source, software would also eliminate that

NHQ··on Show HN: Automatic Speech Recognition in TensorFlow
how does one evaluate an utterance?
NHQ··on Stanford Brainstorm Chip to Hints at Neuromorphic Computing Future
this is square waves vs sine waves, but triangle waves are where it's at.

the brain may use square waves because it is part of a strangely evolved biology which has required things like fear and adrenaline, and uses long, salty, high impedance connections.

the brain's architecture may not be the best for all jobs

NHQ··on The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work
OBVIOUSLY CHAOTIC NEUTRAL
NHQ··on Suddenly, a leopard print sofa appears
Maybe the algorithm did detect a face in the couch, as we see them in trees (wood sprites!).
NHQ··on HUSL – A human-friendly alternative to HSL
Those vibrant colors are not gone from the HUSL palette, they are there at the top. But they are not the only colors. There is more variation. The HSL palette is "over saturated" with saturated colors.
NHQ··on The Disruption Machine: What the gospel of innovation gets wrong (2014)
I would call this is a pretty good take down of the religion of disruption.
NHQ··on Show HN: The first websynth that's 100% mappable to a MIDI controller
